Arrr, mateys! I couldn't help but wonder what BrickPerfection's Privateer Frigate Fortuna would've looked like if it had sailed into the original 1989 LEGO Pirates lineup.

So I gave it the classic box treatment, inspired by those legendary vintage sets we all grew up dreaming about.

Hope ye enjoy it as much as I enjoyed making it!

32 gun Fortuna

The Fortuna has arrived along with 11 extra crew members, 6 guns and 6 caronades. She will be a privateer running heavily armed and crewed.

I think the Fortuna with sails is the way to go! I printed them at home with fabric paper. Super easy to install! Kudos to the designer on this incredible set!

Wiseblock's Havana Harbor Review and Impressions

I would love to know what you all think. Does it scratch the Pirate Itch? I know I had a lot of fun with this. Would anyone else consider adding this to their Pirate scene or collection?

Cutlass Crossing

Alternate model I made from set 31109

I made a small seaside fort with a rope bridge out of set 31109. Unlike the new Creator pirate ship, the old one didn't have the rope pieces with bar connections on them. So the bridge sections can fall out. But that kind of makes the bridge even more fun :D

It's free on Rebrickable if anyone is interested

De-Juniorizing LEGO Pirate Treasure Hunt

Hey everyone,

I continued my video series where I take official modern LEGO Pirate sets and convert them to classic 90s sets.

This one was especially challenging, since 10679 Pirate Treasure Hunt was a Junior set from 2015, so I also had to de-juniorize it.

Let me know what you think! I hope you enjoy it :)

Should i keep it broader or slimmer?

Im building a pirate ship in lego studio, but i have a problem: I am not sure if i should keep the stern of the ship more broad than the rest of it, or if i should keep it the same width as the rest?

Maybe someone has experience with building pirate ships.

Lion Fleet's Stronghold

At long last! You can now transform the Lion Knights' Castle into a fortress, capable of defending itself in the age of sail!

This is a complete alternate model of set 10305, no extra parts are needed. I've designed this fortress last year a bit before the set retired, but the instructions are now finally also available on Rebrickable.

Next on the nostalgia list!

This one was next on the list from when I was a kid. The base board was a recent pickup as the original is lost somewhere in my parents house. There were other missing bits that I was able to replace too which was handy. This is the last of the pirate theme Lego I had as a kid, on to the castle stuff next.

Steampunk pirateship

Built this 6-7 years ago for my cmf to have a place to live. It has:

Solar sails

2x180° cannons

Large deck

Cockpit

Bathroom

Music bar

Kitchen

Dining room

Bedroom with four beds and underbed storage

Engine

Pieces are old because this is an older moc and I did not have PAB back then. Still love this ship though!

Blue or red gunport lids for imperial soldiers faction?

Was trying my best to turn privateer frigate Fortuna into imperial frigate. I thought that replacing red elements in the ship might be a good idea but kinda want to hear your opinions

The CMF Buying Experience is just getting out of hand

At this point, I have no idea how Lego can fix the current system. Id legit rather go back to bags and feeling for minifigures. Every store is absolutely raided and if you're lucky to even find a box it's left like this.

Anyone have any good ideas for how this whole thing could be fixed?
